Chapter 1208: The Body Awaiting Judgment Will Regret

The sedan chair was shaking, and Zhang Jiuling, who was sitting on it, was very uncomfortable.

He wanted to take a car, but the Guangzhou people who were going to Chang'an with him insisted on carrying him on the sedan chair.

There were two people in front and behind the sedan chair, and the others were ready to take turns at any time.

The team was huge. In addition to the people from Zhang Jiuling's hometown, there were also people from Guangzhou who helped transport the goods.

The merchants also wanted to go together. It was safer to form a group, and there were 300 Yulin flying cavalry to protect them.

The goods Zhang Jiuling brought were worth 3.6 million strings of cash, which meant that the total amount of Guangzhou's maritime trade exceeded 15 million strings of cash.

Because both sides collected 20% tax before, and only 30% later.

The money for road construction was deducted, and Zhang Jiuling returned to Chang'an and took all the money that had been divided before.

The newly appointed student officials did not need to stay in front, because there were ships coming to trade every day, and there would be enough funds later.

Yan Jie was walking not far away with a backpack on his back. He was not restricted in his movements. If he wanted to run, he could jump out at any time.

But he didn't dare. How could he run alone? There was no food and water.

And if he ran into the mountains, would he be sure to outrun the Yulin Flying Cavalry?

At this moment, he only had one thought left, not to be killed, or to be exiled, a three thousand li walk or something.

If he didn't go to Luzhou, it would be better to go to Guangzhou or other places, which would be like going home again. It was nothing more than power and money disappearing, but he could earn them again.

The people of the Yan family and those who depended on the Yan family were all there, the child sat in the car in a daze, and the old man sighed.

Today was the fifth day since the day of departure, and the situation that made the Yan family feel more relieved was that no one bullied women and children.

Young wives, big girls, etc., according to past situations, would be humiliated along the way, and being a soldier was not a good thing.

The Yulin Flying Cavalry pressed the battle, and if the Yulin Flying Cavalry didn't move, the others would not dare to move.

There was no shortage of food and drink, including a breastfeeding woman, who was specially given a special meal.

Even if they were guilty of capital punishment, they could not be bullied before the verdict.

"Mr. Zhang, please help me to ask for mercy. I, Yan, also drank the soup later when the road was being built." Yan Jie was afraid of death, and he shouted loudly.

"According to the law, I ask for mercy for you, how can I be worthy of the Guangzhou people who gave me the Book of the People? How can I be worthy of the people of Shiyuan County who gave me boiled eggs?"

Zhang Jiuling shook his head. He got the Book of the People, the real Book of the People, and it was not ten thousand people who put their fingerprints on it.

His greatest contribution was road construction. All the roads in the counties of Guangzhou were connected. The people did not spend a penny and got their wages.

The tools used for road construction were divided by the people themselves and taken home.

They will use them for work in the future, and the government will not give them again when the road is built.

Many new docks were also built. As long as they provide services to merchants, they can make money.

Guangzhou was very poor before, and even if there was sea trade, it had nothing to do with ordinary people.

Now relying on sea trade, the people benefit from it.

It is a long-term thing. The people are not stupid. Knowing that Zhang Jiuling is leaving, they quickly unite to make the Book of the People.

Find someone to write the situation, and everyone will put their fingerprints on it.

…

"Zhang Jiuling will come back before the New Year, and Lao Bi will be very happy. Three million and six hundred thousand strings of cash, how much is left to reach the annual fiscal revenue of 30 million?"

Li Yi received the pigeon, and it flew over when Zhang Jiuling set off.

It flew for a day last time, and it almost took two days this time.

It is obvious that the weather in the north is getting colder, and the pigeons are not used to it. They have to avoid large birds that are overactive in the south along the way.

As soon as they came back, the two pigeons went straight into the nest.

They were originally raised here. After adapting to Guangzhou for a period of time, they felt that Guangzhou was quite comfortable.

It's cold when they come back again, and they need warmth.

"The crabs are steamed, here." Li Chengqi took out a large crab with its claws tied with hemp rope from the steamer and gave it to Li Yi.

This is the last batch of large crabs that can be transported back. The upper reaches have begun to freeze, and the lower reaches will soon enter the dry season.

The most classic large crab in Bohai Bay is the swimming crab. Of course, there are many small crabs, but they are not eaten much.

There is no artificial breeding at present, all are grown naturally, and it is most appropriate to eat swimming crabs in this season.

The navy sent it over, and a live crab cost ten cents. The dead ones depend on how they died and how long they have been dead. If they are more than twelve hours old, they will not be eaten.

Those that died within twelve hours are counted as five cents. No lying is allowed, otherwise you will be held accountable for eating the dead.

The navy are all honest, their lives are better, and they can also take their children to serve as sailors.

Li Chengqi turned around and boiled the dead ones first, and asked Li Yi to check them randomly. After confirming that there were no problems, they were sent to the market for sale, ten cents each.

The live ones were sold for a hundred cents each, anyway, they can only be kept for a few days.

Swimming crabs are much larger than river crabs, and the wild ones taste better.

Li Yi took one and broke off the two large claws first, leaving it for the children as a snack.

Li Chengqi made the same movements as Li Yi: "It feels like eating this is like eating water chestnuts. Is anyone from the Yan family going to die? I always feel like they are plotting against them."

"The key is that they are plotting against others. There are more than 100 kilograms of silver, and the local tribute requirement is not more than 50 strings per state every year. Where do they get so much?"

Li Yi started to crack the crab shell. The swimming crab has a lot of meat, and the meat can be shaved out of the small claws.

But Li Yi never uses other tools. He puts the small claws directly into his mouth and uses his teeth to rub it.

"You sent the students from the manor over there. Aren't you afraid that they will change their minds when they see too much money in the local area?" Li Chengqi picked up the meat with chopsticks.

"What do you mean by change of heart? And they are not from the Li family manor. They are officials who have passed the first-class Jinshi in the imperial court."

Li Yi picked out a piece of meat, put it in his mouth without dipping it in anything, and tasted it first.

Li Chengqi put ginger vinegar on his plate, took a bite, and then poured soy sauce and sesame oil: "Isn't this the focus?"

"They dare not, they know how much money Li's manor has, and they know my temper better. If you need money, tell me and I will give it to you. Greed and bribery are not allowed.

When the little guy eats, the adults need to help him. If the little teeth bite the crab claws, it will take a long time for new teeth to grow, and it will be too late to replace them."

Li Yi looked at the crab and said, he was a little anxious.

We need to build more roads, especially trains, otherwise there will be so many good things in the sea, but they can't be transported alive.

Especially crabs, the meat is not easy to handle, and it takes more effort than shrimp and shellfish.

It is easy to get the meat of shrimp and shellfish, but the edible meat of crabs accounts for a small proportion of the body, and it is very tiring to beat them.

"I have had a lot of water chestnuts planted. You said that they have a lot of starch, which is used for thickening and making vermicelli.

I used hot water to make water chestnut powder according to the method you said, and it can indeed make a large bowl, just like oil tea.

The oil tea you developed is good. I have prepared 30 million kilograms and plan to send it to the source of the Yellow River in winter. They use pressure cookers to boil water and drink it."

Li Chengqi talked about whatever he thought of. As the King of Song, he made a lot of money. Ordinary people donated money. How could he fall behind?

The oil tea he asked someone to stir-fry cost four coins per kilogram, and a lot of good things were added to it, especially sugar.

For 30 million kilograms, he spent 120,000 strings of money. What else could he do? Princess Yongmu donated 80,000 strings of money.
